My Project

I teach high school sculpture and recently began experimenting with glass materials and processes. One of the processes we are exploring is casting in glass and in resin. Students are very excited about exploring casting methods. I would like to give them the opportunity to work with a broad range of materials. Some of these are beyond the scope of our art budget, so help would be appreciated. Currently , i am working with a small group of advanced students. We hope to broaden the scope of the project to include all of the sculpture students. This would require an investment in glass, resin and mold making materials.
